Eye Health

Tips for maintaining healthy eyes.

How does Blinky work?

Blinky uses your device's front camera and ARKit to detect your blinks in real-time. All processing happens on your device for complete privacy. You start a session when you begin working, and Blinky tracks your blink rate and provides feedback.

What devices are supported?

Blinky works on iPhone and iPad devices with Face ID capability. Version 2.0 brings enhanced support for all device sizes with optimized layouts and performance.

Do I need to keep the app open?

Yes, Blinky works best when the app is active and your face is visible to the front camera. We only track blinks when your face is detected, automatically pausing when you're not nearby to save battery.

How much battery does it use?

Blinky only checks for blinks when your face is detected nearby. When you're not actively using your device, tracking pauses automatically to conserve battery. You have full control over when tracking is active.

Is my data private?

Absolutely. Blinky processes everything on your device. No data is sent to the cloud, no external servers, and no tracking. Your eye health data stays completely private and under your control.

What is the calibration period?

When you start a session, Blinky runs a 30-second calibration to establish your normal blink rate. This ensures accurate personalized feedback throughout your session.

Can I see my history?

Each session provides a detailed summary showing your blink rate, session duration, and personalized insights to help you maintain healthy screen habits.

What's new in Version 2.0?

Version 2.0 brings a beautiful modern design, session-based tracking for better battery life, enhanced device support, improved accuracy, and stunning visualizations of your eye health data.

Why is blinking important?

Blinking keeps your eyes moist and comfortable. During screen use, people blink 66% less often, leading to dry eyes, strain, and discomfort. Blinky helps you maintain a healthy blink rate.

What's a healthy blink rate?

A normal blink rate is 15-20 blinks per minute. During screen use, this can drop to 5-7 blinks per minute. Blinky helps you stay aware and maintain healthier habits.

Who created Blinky?

Blinky was created as a personal project to solve my own eye strain issues from long screen sessions. After finding it helpful, I decided to share it with others who might benefit from better eye health tracking.
